Today I was surprised and delighted when I was called to the front desk to accept a delivery. When I got there I found a delivery of still warm assorted cookies from Jake’s Bakes Nashville.
The cookies were sent to me as a thank you gift for helping a woman who had tripped and fell to the ground while walking to the parking garage behind our building. Her hands were full and she misjudged the curb. I felt horrible for her, she was so shaken and on the verge of tears when another woman and myself helped her up.
Just this week I was at a networking event in Murfreesboro where Mayor Shane McFarland was the guest speaker. During his time he challenged the group with three action points to build and run a successful business. I would say a successful life.
1) Tell the truth. Don’t lie. Don’t “spin”. Don’t bend the truth.
2) When you make a mistake or mess up take responsibility for what you did and say I am sorry.
3) Surround yourself with good people who want to help you live by the first two rules.
Sounds pretty simple, right?
Is it something you will endeavor to do?
BTW, thanks to my new friends generous gift box of cookies I am now an unofficial spokesperson for Jake’s Bakes Nashville…SO GOOD!!!

The web site style is great, the articles is
really excellent : D. Good job, cheers
First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which
I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center
yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I’ve had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
suggestions or hints? Kudos!
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto
a friend who has been doing a little homework on this. And he in fact ordered me breakfast due to the fact that I stumbled upon it for him…
lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
But yeah, thanks for spending time to discuss this topic here on your web site.
I am curious to find out what blog platform you’re using?
I’m having some minor security issues with
my latest website and I would like to find something more risk-free.
Do you have any suggestions?
I was recommended this web site through my cousin. I am not positive whether this publish is written by him as nobody else
understand such exact about my trouble. You’re amazing!
Thank you!
